What's Happening!

I have been so busy lately that my blogging has gone on the backburner. I am really behind and I hope to catch up over the next few days. I have plans for a few special posts in the near future.

I did manage to get together with our friend, Tyler, before he leaves for school in Newfoundland, to give him the quilt I made for him. He was very touched and he appreciated all the work that went into it. It will keep him warm this winter. The photo is horrible. I only had my cellphone. You can see why I had to make the quilt longer! Tyler sure makes me look very short. Guess I am. He is almost a foot and a half taller than me!

Remember all the sewing I was doing for my niece's wedding? Well, the wedding took place this past weekend and everything looked just wonderful. Here is a shot of the head table with the burlap and lace runner and the flags I made.

The quilt guest book went over really well and I now have lots of signature squares to incorporate into the design for the backing of the wedding quilt.

And here she is....She was so beautiful, I cried a lot...when I gave the Toast to the Bride I had everyone crying, even the men!

The happy couple

I spent a bit of time today at my machine. First time in almost a week! I made a zippered pouch for my guild swap next month. I have lots of sewing that needs to get done in the near future. A few deadlines. More on this soon.

You are truly amazing, Linda. The wedding pictures are scrumptious. You really did an amazing job preparing. I'd like to have been a fly on the wall to hear your toast. Never in a million years could I have gotten up there and addressed all those people. She is a truly gorgeous bride. Well done, my friend.

Your niece is so beautiful -I showed my girls and we all agreed that she is one of the most beautiful brides we have ever seen-and she has a dog like ours! I don't have my zippered pouch made yet-will wait until school starts.
